I'm looking for alternative ways that I can transfer files to from websites without FTP or some other work around for my current problems. I have a few sites that I used to be able to transfer up and down batches of files rapidly with FTP but I recently moved to living on campus at my University. I have to use a National University Wifi network to access internet.
The speed is very good but ever since I've never been able to reliably use FTP. I can connect but it's extremely slow and fails 3 out of 4 times, I have difficulty uploading or downloading even a single file. I think the problem is somehow related to the Wifi network I have to use. I have already tried lots with messing with advanced FTP settings for the sites but no results. I can use my cPanel's built in file transfer just fine but it's an awful interface that can't do batches or folders. I really need help to find some solutions so I can start working with websites again.

Check with your hosting company to see if they can give you SSH access; this will allow you to us SFTP instead.
Most FTP clients (e.g. WinSCP or FileZilla or gFTP) will let you use SFTP in pretty much the same way. You'll even get the benefit of an encrypted connection so your local/campus ISP won't be able to intercept your traffic.
